GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon Winners, Announced!

In May, we announced a challenge on DEV, in partnership with our friends at GitHub: the GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon.

Our brilliant participants were challenged to build brand new apps using GitHub Actions and GitHub Codespaces. Submissions were to be filed in one of five categories: Maintainer Must-Haves, DIY Deployments, Interesting IoT, Phone Friendly, or Wacky Wildcards.

It's never easy for contest judges to pick just one Grand Prize winner per category and 10 runners-up and this time was no different. Even so, judges from the DEV and GitHub teams managed to pick our winners and I'm excited to share them with you today!

Let's take a look at the winning projects for the GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon!

Maintainer Must-Haves: @lyqht

DIY Deployments: @disukharev

Interesting IoT: @kafechew

Phone Friendly: @sandy_codes_py

Wacky Wildcards: @arndom

All Grand Prize Winners will receive:

  • $1,500 USD gift card or equivalent πŸ€‘
  • $300 USD credit to the DEV Shop 😎
  • DEV Sticker Pack ✨
  • DEV β€œGitHub + DEV 2023” Grand Prize profile badge πŸ†

And, our 10 Runners-Up, in random order!

All runners-up will receive:

  • $250 USD gift card or equivalent πŸ’°
  • $150 USD credit to the DEV Shop 🌈
  • DEV Sticker Pack πŸ’»
  • DEV β€œGitHub + DEV 2023” Runner-Up profile badge 🌟

Participants

All participants with a valid project will receive a DEV Sticker Pack and an β€œGitHub Hackathon 2023” participant profile badge. πŸŽ‰

To everyone who submitted a project for this hackathon, we're giving you a huge round of applause. In the process of building your project, you sharpened your skills while learning something new. That's something to be very proud of.

Our team will follow up with all winners and participants about their prizes, gift codes, and stickers by Friday, June 23rd.


Great work, everyone! We hope you had a blast participating in the GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon.
